arguo Eam me vidisse intus,

non ex auditu arguo,

M. Valerius Laevinus... speculatores, non legatos, venisse arguebat,

degeneres animos timor arguit,

amantem et languor et silentium Arguit,

apparet virtus arguiturque malis,

laudibus arguitur vini vinosus Homerus,

arguisse accusāsse et convicisse,

37: servos ipsos neque accuso neque arguo neque purgo,

Pergin, sceleste, intendere hanc arguere?

hae tabellae te arguunt,

an hunc porro tactum sapor arguet oris?

quod adjeci, non ut arguerem, sed ne arguerer,

coram aliquem arguere,

apud praefectum,

(Deus) arguit te heri,

malorum facinorum,

aliquem probri, Stupri, dedecoris,

socordiae,

mendacii,

timoris,

sceleris arguemur,

te hoc crimine non arguo,

de eo crimine, quo de arguatur,

de quibus quoniam verbo arguit, etc.,

Quis arguet me de peccato?

non in sacrificiis tuis arguam te,

quae (mulier) me arguit Hanc domo ab se subripuisse,

occidisse patrem Sex. Roscius arguitur,

auctor illius injuriae fuisse arguebatur?

qui sibimet vim ferro intulisse arguebatur,

me Arguit incepto rerum accessisse labori,

hunc ut dominum et tyrannum, illum ut proditorem arguentes,

ea culpa, quam arguo,

peccata coram omnibus argue,

tribuni plebis dum arguunt in C. Caesare regni voluntatem,

taciturnitatem pudoremque quorumdam pro tristitiā et malignitate arguens,

arguebat et perperam editos census,

primusque animalia mensis Arguit imponi,

ut non arguantur opera ejus,

quod et ipsum Fenestella arguit,

aliquem,

manus autem minus arguta, digitis subsequens verba, non exprimens,

manus inter agendum argutae admodum et gestuosae,

so volint,

sis for si vis,

sultis for si voltis, only ante-class.,

potare ego hodie tecum volo,

ego quoque volo esse liber: nequiquam volo,

ait rem seriam agere velle mecum,

natus enim debet quicunque est velle manere In vita,

video te alte spectare et velle in caelum migrare,

quid poetae? Nonne post mortem nobilitari volunt?

si innocentes existimari volumus,

quoniam opinionis meae voluistis esse participes,

non enim vincere tantum noluit, sed vinci voluit,

suspitionem Caesar quibusdam reliquit, neque voluisse se diutius vivere, neque curasse,

consuesse deos immortalis, quos pro scelere eorum ulcisci velint, etc.,

ac volui inicere tragulam in nostrum senem,

eadem quae illis voluisti facere tu, faciunt tibi,

puerumque clam voluit exstinguere,

necare candem voluit,

hostis hostem occidere volui,

volui... ferro interficere (ironically),

tuum crimen erit, hospitem occidere voluisse,

non enim vult mori, sed invidiam filio facere,

Pregn., opp. optare: non vult mori qui optat,

sed eo die is, cui dare volueram (epistulam), non est profectus,

cum de senectute vellem aliquid scribere,

ego te volui castigare, tu mihi accussatrix ades,

bonus volo jam ex hoc die esse,

ego jam a principio amici filiam, Ita ut aequom fuerat, volui uxorem ducere,

at etiam eo negotio M. Catonis splendorem maculare voluerunt,

eum (tumulum) non tam capere sine certamine volebat, quam causam certaminis cum Minucio contrahere,

cum lex venditionibus occurrere voluit,

si iis qui haec omnia flamma ac ferro delere voluerunt... bellum indixi, etc.,

(plebem) per caedem senatus vacuam rem publicam tradere Hannibali velle,

rem Nolanam in jus dicionemque dare voluerat Poeno,

ut qui a principio mitis omnibus Italicis praeter Romanos videri vellet, etc.,

quas (i. e. magnas res) qui impedire vult, is et infirmus est mobilisque natura, et, etc.,

nam si quando id (exordium) primum invenire volui, nullum mihi occurrit, nisi aut exile, aut, etc.,

de Antonio dico, numquam illum... nonnullorum de ipso suspitionem infitiando tollere voluisse,

audes Fatidicum fallere velle deum?

hic respondere voluit, non lacessere,

non te judices urbi sed carceri reservarunt, neque to retinere in civitate, sed exilio privare voluerunt,

quid aliud volui dicere?

volo autem dicere, illud homini longe optimum esse quod ipsum sit optandum per se,

adduxi volui dicere,

nunc quod relicuom restat volo persolvere,

sustine hoc, Penicule, exuvias facere quas vovi volo,

sinite me prospectare ne uspiam insidiae sint, consilium quod habere volumus,

si Prometheus, cum mortalibus ignem dividere vellet, ipse a vicinis carbunculos conrogaret, ridiculus videretur,

ait se velle de illis HS. LXXX. cognoscere,

hinc se recipere cum vellent, rursus illi ex loco superiore nostros premebant,

quotiens ire volo foras, retines me, rogitas quo ego eam,

quae sese in ignem inicere voluit, prohibui,

si scires aspidem latere uspiam, et velle aliquem imprudentem super eam adsidere,

quod cum facere vellent, intervenit M. Manilius,

qui cum opem ferre vellet, nuntiatum sibi esse aliam classem ad Aegates insulas stare,

at Libys obstantes dum vult obvertere remos, In spatium resilire manus breve vidit,

P. Claudius cum proelium navale committere vellet,

sed, nisi molestum est, nomen dare vobis volo comediai,

vos ite intro. Interea ego ex hac statua verberea volo erogitare... quid sit factum,

i tu atque arcessi illam: ego intus quod facto est opus volo adcurare,

illa enim (ars) te, verum si loqui volumus, ornaverat,

ergo, si vere aestimare volumus, etc.,

si vere aestimare Macedonas, qui tunc erant, volumus,

ejus me compotem facere potestis, si meminisse vultis, etc.,

visne igitur, dum dies ista venit... interea tu ipse congredi mecum ut, etc....?

volo tibi Chrysippi quoque distinctionem indicare,

uti tamen tuo consilio volui,

is dare volt, is se aliquid posci,

hoc dixit, si hoc de cella concederetur, velle Siculos senatui polliceri frumentum in cellam gratis,
